The Citizens are ready to tie down their striking starlet to record dealAccording to The Sun, Manchester City forward Daniel Sturridge is on the verge of penning a £45,000-per-week contract that will make him the highest-paid teenager in English football.
The England Under-19 star's current deal at Eastlands expires in the summer, and manager Mark Hughes is determined to keep hold of one of the club's brightest youth products.
However, talks came dangerously close to collapsing recently when Sturridge reportedly demanded an astonishing £75,000 a week - a proposal that was flatly refused by City.
It is thought that the pacey youngster and his representatives had hoped to force the club's hand amid interest from Aston Villa and Chelsea, but now a compromise seems to have been reached.
The new deal is expected to be signed and sealed within the next two weeks.
